CONAKAT

The Confederation of Katangese Tribal Associations (CONAKAT) was a conservative political party in Katanga that existed from 1958 to 1963. The party was founded by Moise Tshombe and Godefroid Munongo in 1958, and the party believed that Katanga's mineral riches should be exclusively for the ethnic Katangese people. However, the party supported Belgium during the Congo Crisis of the 1960s, and it was dissolved when Katanga was destroyed in 1963.
